Supernaked Launch

2027 Kawasaki Z900 Launched in India at Rs 9.99 Lakh: New Colours and Inline-Four Power

India Kawasaki Motors has officially launched the 2027 Kawasaki Z900 across authorized dealerships nationwide. In a welcome move for performance enthusiasts, Kawasaki has retained its attractive introductory price tag of Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), maintaining the Z900’s enviable status as the most accessible four-cylinder supernaked motorcycle on Indian roads. For the 2027 model year, the machine gains dynamic new visual liveries while carrying forward its exhilarating 125 PS inline-four powertrain.

Iconic 948cc Screaming Inline-Four Powertrain

The mechanical masterpiece of the Z900 remains its 948cc liquid-cooled, 16-valve DOHC inline-four cylinder engine. Engineered for intense mid-range punch and a howling high-rpm acoustic crescendo, the motor delivers 125 PS (123.6 bhp) at 9,500 rpm and a robust 98.6 Nm of peak torque at 7,700 rpm. Power is transferred to the rear wheel through a slick 6-speed gearbox coupled with an assist-and-slipper clutch that significantly reduces lever effort and prevents rear-wheel hopping during aggressive downshifts.

Striking New 2027 Colorways and Sugomi Styling

The 2027 iteration embodies Kawasaki’s aggressive Sugomi design philosophy—characterized by a crouching predator stance, low-slung LED headlamp cluster, sculpted fuel tank shrouds, and a sharp minimalist tail. For 2027, riders can select between two fresh aesthetics:

• Metallic Matte Graphene Steel Gray / Candy Lime Green: Combines matte gunmetal bodywork with Kawasaki’s signature high-gloss lime green exposed trellis frame and wheel rim stripes.
• Metallic Spark Black: A menacing, full-blackout livery featuring subtle gloss highlights across the fuel tank and engine fairings.

Proven Chassis Architecture and Smart Electronics

Built upon a lightweight high-tensile steel trellis chassis weighing just 13.5 kg, the Z900 delivers razor-sharp handling with a kerb weight of 212 kg. Suspension hardware includes 41 mm inverted front forks with stepless rebound damping and spring preload adjustability, paired with a horizontal back-link rear monoshock.

Braking duties are managed by dual 300 mm petal front discs clamped by opposed four-piston calipers and a 250 mm petal rear disc. In the cockpit, a high-contrast 4.3-inch colour TFT display provides Bluetooth connectivity via Kawasaki’s Rideology app, offering telephone notifications, GPS log tracking, and seamless switching between four riding modes (Sport, Road, Rain, and Rider-customizable) alongside three-level Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC).
